Most Favorable Review

Arousal out of the box

Saitek PZ30AU 104 Normal Keys 4 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Eclipse Blue Backlit Keyboard
Saitek PZ30AU 104 Normal Keys 4 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Eclipse Blue Backlit Keyboard

Pros: Given I've owned it for only a few hours, keyboard feels great so far. Has a good heft to it and feels solidly constructed. Clickiness of keys is perfect for me, but people have different tastes when it comes to clickiness. The three main volume controls (up, down, mute) are an excellent addition as these are the only extra buttons I ever use. The adjustable illumination is also a brilliant feature in case I don't want the backlighting (movie, bedtime, etc). All around satisfaction so far!

Cons: Illumination may be too dim for some people. No USB ports on keyboard.

Most Critical Review

Probably not a good idea

Cellink BTST-9000A Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Cellink BTST-9000A Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Pros: It's Bluetooth and wireless. Battery seems to last a long time. The 6030 dongle rocks and I've actually purchased one separately.

Cons: First and foremost: uncomfortable. Ear pieces don't sit very well on your ears and the entire headset lacks any form of adjustment. The audio quality seems poor. Keep in mind that I am in no way an expert on audio. I also had trouble with installation. The headset installs fine, but there's an audio sink function that's supposed to control Windows Media Player that I haven't been able to get to work.

Overall Review: Not a bad solution, but needs some revisions.

Outstanding Case

LIAN LI PC-60FWB Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-60FWB Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Lightweight, both side panels are removable, more than enough mounting hardware, cable management accessories, screwless harddrive cage design is awesome, cushioning to help dampen noise.

Cons: Picks up fingerprints easily. I don't personally consider this a con because find me a product with black finish that DOESN'T pick up fingerprints.

Overall Review: I've never purchased a case of this caliber before. I was stunned with the quality of it. The accessories, the design, the layout, everything about this case arouses me sexually. I used it for my upgrade to Core i7 and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new case.

Horrible

Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 - 5 User
Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 - 5 User

Pros: Symantec's brandname?

Cons: Management Console is unbelievably slow. Management console user interface is cluttered and very difficult to navigate. Resource hog. Clients randomly stop receiving updates. Help files aren't very helpful at all.

Overall Review: 1 isn't a low enough rating for this product. Symantec products have gotten progressively slower and more bloated over the years and it would seem SEP 11 is the culmination of that effort. Buy something else, something that works.

Orga$m in a keyboard

Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys 34 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard
Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys 34 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard

Pros: The blue backlighting rocks. 3 sets of programmable macro buttons. The ability to program the LCD. The apps that come standard are very functional and useful. Linux compatible! Woot!

Cons: USB 1.1! It's not a big enough problem to hurt the sheer brilliance of this keyboard, but it just seems kind of stupid for Logitech to have included USB 1.1 ports instead of 2.0

Overall Review: This keyboard is awesome. I recommend everyone own one.
